Description:Ultra-high-definition displays are available on the market, and vector graphics are possible solutions to describe various multimedia contents in versatile applications because of its compactness and scalability. Therefore, this project focuses on proposing a new data structure and vector algorithm to preserve complex details of arbitrary images and maintain interactive editing and manipulation abilities. Furthermore, high resolution textures are determinant for high rendering quality in gaming and movie industries, but burdens in memory usage, data transmission bandwidth, and rendering efficiency. Therefore, it is desirable to shade 3D objects with vector images such as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for compactness and resolution independence. We also focus on applying the vector image on rendering 3D objects.

Description:Background extraction is generally the first step for many computer vision and augmented reality applications. Most existing methods, which assume a clean background shot, are not suitable for video sequences such as highway traffic videos containing complex foreground movements which may not have a clean background shot. Therefore, this projects focuses on developing algorithms for robust background extraction.

Description:Global illumination is important for many applications such as animation, computer games, architecture, design and etc. However, the main issue in this field is the slow converging rate of algorithms. This research focus on improving the efficiency.
